Crimethinc. Tour Coming to Iowa City

This Friday evening, an international panel of activists from around the globe will come together to discuss how "To Change Everything ."
This touring panel is visiting 50 US cities this fall, and brings
together organizers from Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and
North America to discuss the significance of anarchist ideas and
tactics in the 21st century. All of the presenters are contributors to a
recent Crimethinc. outreach and dialogue project, To Change Everything (TCE), which appeared earlier this year in over twenty languages. A free pdf of the book can be downloaded from the TCE webpage.

The
participants will compare experiences from the wave of protests and
uprisings that has swept the world since 2010—exploring the role of
demand-based politics in both catalyzing and limiting movements,
examining a variety of forms of repression, and critically evaluating
experiments with direct democracy. They will conclude by assessing the
prospects of contemporary struggles for self-determination in an era of
globalized capitalism and state control.

Held at Public Space One in Iowa City, this event includes a light dinner-Kalmia's
homemade vegan tamales! A suggested donation of $5 goes to pay for
travel expenses for the speakers group. Visit the event facebook page for more details.
